Great service and beautiful hotel and rooms. Views from the corner room were fantastic...but the room gets a lot of sun and can get hot.
The only observation for improvement was that the hallway carpet leading from our room on the 2nd floor (room 4) to the restaurant is very worn and needs to be replaced.

Our stay at The Tennessean was awesome! The staff could not have been friendlier or more accommodating. The hotel itself and the rooms are very nice, and it is conveniently located. I highly recommend.
